1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a light emitting display device having light emitting elements, and further relates to a method for driving a light emitting element when an electric field is applied thereto.
2. Description of the Related Art
Due to recent demand for high definition images, a self-light-emitting type of organic electroluminescent light emitting element (hereinafter referred to as "light emitting element") has become a focus of attention. Due to advancements in organic layer materials, this light emitting element is highly efficient and has long life.
Referring to
In a light emitting element having the configuration of
The light emitting element E, in which electrodes and organic fluorescent material are stacked, has a parasitic capacitance in its electric-equivalent circuit shown in FIG. 8. In this circuit, reference numeral 107 denotes a light emitting body of a constant voltage element, reference numeral 108 denotes an internal resistance, and reference numeral 109 denotes a parasitic capacitance. The parasitic capacitance 109 is connected in parallel with the light emitting body 107 and internal resistance 108.
As can be seen in
In view of the problem described above, it is an object of the present invention to provide a light emitting display device which requires a shorter time to emit light with a desired instantaneous brightness and has less variation in instantaneous brightness during a scanning period.
The present invention includes a light emitting display device having a plurality of light emitting elements, comprising first and second driving sources, a connection selector, and a controller. The first and second driving sources are connectable to the light emitting elements. The connection selector selects one of the first and the second driving sources, and connects the selected driving source to the light emitting elements. The controller controls the connection selector to connect the first driving source to the light emitting elements, and subsequently, in exchange for the first driving source, connects the second driving source to the light emitting elements. A driving current supplied to the light emitting elements by the first driving source is larger than a driving current supplied to the light emitting elements by the second driving source.
The first driving source may be a constant voltage source, and the second driving source may be a constant current source. Alternatively, each of the first and the second driving sources may be constant current sources.
The invention also includes a method for driving a light emitting display device having a plurality of light emitting elements. First and second driving sources, which are connectable to the light emitting elements, are provided. Driving currents are supplied to the light emitting elements, wherein a driving current supplied by the first driving source is larger than a driving current supplied by the second driving source. The first driving source is first connected to the light emitting elements. Subsequently and in exchange for the first driving source, the second driving source is connected to the light emitting elements.
The invention further includes a method for driving a light emitting display device having light emitting elements connected to intersecting points of a plurality of anode lines and cathode lines arranged in a matrix. Either one of the anode lines and the cathode lines are used as scanning lines, while the others are used as driving lines. While one of the scanning lines is scanned during a scanning period, a driving source is synchronously connected to one of the driving lines so that a light emitting element connected to an intersecting point of the one scanning line and the one driving line is caused to emit light. Immediately after the scanning period of the one scanning line is started, a first driving source is connected to the one driving line. Subsequently, in exchange for the first driving source, a second driving source is connected to the one driving line.
In order to drive a light emitting element during a scanning period, the parasitic capacitance of a light emitting element can be charged at a high speed by a first driving source and thereafter the light emitting element can be driven with constant instantaneous brightness. Therefore, the time elapsing until the light emitting element emits light with desired instantaneous brightness can be shortened and variation in the instantaneous brightness within a scanning period can be reduced.
The display panel 10 includes anode lines A1 to A256, cathode lines B1 to B64, and light emitting elements E1, 1 to E256, 64. The anode lines A1 to A256 are driving lines arranged to be parallel to one another. The cathode lines B1 to B64 are scanning lines arranged to be orthogonal to the cathode lines. The light emitting elements E1, 1 to E256, 64 are arranged at and connected to the respective intersecting points of the anode lines and cathode lines.
The cathode line scanning circuit 1 includes scanning switches S1 to S64 for scanning the cathode lines B1 to B64. One terminal of each of these scanning switches S1 to S64 is connected to a reverse bias voltage Vk, which is a constant current; the other terminal is connected to ground potential. Thus, the cathode lines B1 to B64 can be connected to either one of the reverse bias voltage Vk and ground potential.
It should be noted that the reverse bias voltage Vk is set to be larger than the voltage of a constant voltage source V1 to V256 and of a constant current source CB1 to CB256, to be described later.
The anode line driving circuit 2 includes constant voltage sources V1 to V256, a charger, constant current sources CB1 to CB256, and driving switches D1 to D256. The constant voltage sources V1 to V256 are each a first driving source and a charger for charging the parasitic capacitance of a light emitting element. The constant current sources CB1 to CB256 are each a second driving source. The driving switches D1 to D256 each switch an anode line to be driven.
The driving switches D1 to D256 are each constructed as a three-point exchanging switch. The first contact points of the switches are open, the second contact points thereof are connected to the constant current sources CB1 to CB256, respectively, and the third contact points thereof are connected to the constant voltage sources V1 to V256, respectively.
It should be noted that the magnitude of the voltage applied by the constant voltage source V1 to V256 is set to be substantially equal to the voltage across the respective light emitting element E1, 1 to E256, 64 when the element emits light with maximum instantaneous brightness.
The light emitting control circuit 3 controls the scanning switches S1 to S64 and driving switches D1 to D256 in accordance with inputted light emission data.
Referring to
During the scanning period of the cathode line B1, the anode line A1 is first driven by being connected to the constant voltage source V1 (see FIG. 2A), and its connection is subsequently switched by the driving switch D1 to the constant current source CB1 (see FIG. 2B). During this scanning period of cathode line B1, the other cathode lines are not driven because they are connected to the reverse bias voltage Vk. Thus, the forward voltage (in the direction from the anode line to the cathode line) is applied across the light emitting element E1, 1 so that the light emitting element E1, 1 emits light. Meanwhile, the other light emitting elements, across which the reverse voltage is applied, do not emit light.
When scanning of the cathode line B1 is completed, scanning is shifted to the cathode line B2 in accordance with the light emission control signal from the light emission control circuit 3. Scanning will be sequentially executed for the scanning lines.
In the above operation, the light emitting element E1, 1 is connected to the constant voltage source V1 at the moment the scanning period of the cathode B1 begins. Therefore, the voltage across the light emitting element E1, 1 instantaneously becomes substantially equal to the voltage when the light emitting element E1, 1 emits light with the maximum voltage. As a result, its parasitic capacitance is charged swiftly. This assures a longer period of time during which the light emitting element E1, 1 emits light with the maximum instantaneous brightness during the scanning period, thereby providing improved light-emitting brightness during the scanning period.
After the parasitic capacitance is charged, the connection is changed from the constant voltage source V1 to the constant current source CB1, with little change in brightness.
Reference numeral 112 denotes a period during which the constant voltage source is connected to the light emitting element. As can be seen from the figure, when the constant voltage source is connected, a large current flows for a moment, so that the parasitic capacitance is charged swiftly. During the charging process however, the current value gradually decreases. Reference numeral 113 denotes the period during which the constant current source is connected to the light emitting element.
The connection is most preferably exchanged from the constant voltage source to the constant current source when the current supplied, by the former becomes equal to that supplied by the latter, that is, when the charging of the parasitic capacitance is completed.
Referring now to
The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment only in that constant current sources are used in place of the constant voltage sources V1 to V256 (i.e., the first driving sources) of the first embodiment. That is, as in the first embodiment, the first contact points of the switches D1 to D256 of the anode line driving circuit 2 are open, and the second contact points thereof are connected to the second constant current sources CB1 to CB256, respectively. However, different from the first embodiment, the third contact points of the switches D1 to D256 are connected to the first constant current sources CA1 to CA256, respectively.
The first constant current sources CA1 to CA256 can supply a current larger than that of the second constant current sources CB1 to CB256. Like the constant voltage sources V1 to V256 in the first embodiment, these first constant current sources CA1 to CA256 serve as chargers of the light emitting elements.
Referring to
During the scanning period of the cathode line B1, the anode line A1 is first driven by being connected to the first constant current source CA1 (see
When scanning of the cathode line B1 is completed, scanning is shifted to the cathode line B2 in accordance with the light emission control signal from the light emission control circuit 3. Scanning will be sequentially executed for the scanning lines.
In the above operation, the light emitting element E1, 1 is connected to the first constant current source CA1 at the moment the scanning period of the cathode B1 begins. The charging of its parasitic capacitance is swift, so that the voltage across the light emitting element E1, 1 can be swiftly made equal to the voltage when the light emitting element E1, 1 emits light with the maximum instantaneous brightness. This assures a longer period of time during which the light emitting element E1, 1 emits light with the maximum instantaneous brightness during the scanning period, thereby providing improved light-emitting brightness during the scanning period.
After the parasitic capacitance is charged, the connection is changed from the first constant current source CA1 to the second constant current source CB1, with little change in brightness.
Reference numeral 114 denotes a period during which the first constant current source is connected to the light emitting element. Reference numeral 113 denotes the period during which the second constant current source is connected to the light emitting element.
The connection is most preferably exchanged from the first constant current source to the second constant current source immediately after the charging of the parasitic capacitance of the light emitting element is completed. Using this timing as a guide, the period 114 during which the first constant current source is connected should be determined.
The embodiments as described above are most effective when used in a device for linearly and sequentially driving a display panel having light emitting elements arranged in a matrix.
In previous matrix displays, in order to apply the voltage across the light emitting element so as to emit light with the maximum instantaneous brightness, the potential of the anode line connected to the light emitting element had to be set to a predetermined value. However, since the anode line was also connected to the light emitting elements not emitting light (i.e., the elements on the cathode line not scanned), in order to place the anode line at the predetermined potential, the parasitic capacitance of the other light emitting elements had to be slightly charged. Thus, the current to be used for charging the light emitting element that is to emit light became insufficient.
The present invention is an improvement over the previous matrix displays in that when the anode line is connected to a charger such as a constant voltage source, its potential can be instantaneously set to a predetermined value. This permits the light emitting element at issue to be charged at a high speed inclusive of the other light emitting elements that do not emit light.
The present invention is most effectively used for the matrix display subjected to linear sequential driving. However, the present invention is not limited to the matrix display, but may be applied to a general light emitting display using known capacitive light emitting elements.
As described above, in the light emitting display device and its driving method of the present invention, the period elapsing until a light emitting element can emit light with desired instantaneous brightness can be shortened and a variation in the instantaneous brightness during the scanning period can be reduced. Thus, a light emitting display device, which provides a clear image having high brightness, can be realized.
While only certain embodiments of the invention have been specifically described herein, it will be apparent that numerous modifications may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
The entire disclosure of each and every foreign patent application from which the benefit of foreign priority has been claimed in the present application is incorporated herein by reference, as if fully set forth.
